The Alpha King's Accidental Surrogate

Chapter 7

Selene pov

I couldn't step out of my room since morning because I wasn't familiar with the system here. They all look at me like I'm a weird person but they are the weird ones.

It felt strange to me that the things I watch on television might actually exist in real life because why am I living with werewolves?

This new situation is something I never saw coming and I didn't know how to go about the whole thing. I had to lie that I wasn't hungry earlier today because I didn't want to step out of my room but right now I don't think I can endure any longer.

I took a deep breath and stood up from the bed where I have been sitting all day. I was about to step out of my room but I just couldn't do it so I went back to the bed, just then I heard a knock on the door, my heart skipped at the sound of the knock.

“Who could it be?”

I didn't say anything nor did I stand up to get the door. The person gently opened the door, I laid on the bed immediately and covered myself properly, I don't think I'm ready to face him and have a serious conversation.

“Hey.” He said the moment he walked into the room, I had no Intention of replying to his greetings so I kept mute while pretending to be asleep.

“I asked the maids a few minutes ago if you've eaten and I was told you haven't stepped out of your room since morning.” I was wondering why he still bothered to ask when I'm sleeping.

I still followed up with my plan of not getting up from the bed. I would rather remain this way than reply to him, because if I reply to him, he's going to find out that I was pretending to be asleep all along. “I started it, I need to continue.” I whispered to myself.

I closed my eyes tight, though my belly was hurting and couldn't stop making silly sounds.

“You're going to hurt yourself if you keep starving.” He sounded like a gentle man, but I couldn't overlook the fact that he is strange. He isn't human like me so I have to be wary of him.

“If you insist on staying indoors it's fine, your food will be brought to your room, though it's against the rules of the pack house, but I'm going to overlook the rule book this one time so you don't starve my baby to death.” Dante said to me, I was relieved because he is finally leaving.

I was about to open my eyes when he suddenly stopped walking.

“And next time, you don't have to pretend to be asleep while whispering to yourself, I can hear your whispers.” Dante said and smirked before leaving.

It's just like the movies, I really can't believe this is happening to me.

What bothered me the most in all of this is that my sister was very aware of such creatures and I knew nothing about them, somehow I could feel like I had a strong bond with these people but I don't know how.

While I was still thinking of how to go about the whole thing my belly made noise again and just then my food arrived I didn't want to imagine the kind of food they would prepare because they are not even humans.

One of the maids gave me a scary look, she looked at me like she was ready to devour me.

“Thanks for the meal.” I said to the three of them and without replying to me the three of them walked out of the room. “Weird.” I whispered while staring at the covered meal I was served.

“Where is my phone?” I asked myself while looking around the room for the phone. I realized that the only way I will be able to live with such weird people is if I try to check the internet and study them very well, what they eat, how they behave, and how dangerous they are.

After looking around my room while searching for my phone relentlessly, you still couldn't find it. “Where on earth did I keep my phone?” I asked with my hand on my head. It suddenly hit me that it might have been taken away by Dante.

“Oh my goodness, aren't they allowed to use a phone?”

It felt like everything in my life was falling apart. First it was my husband cheating on me with my sister and then I found out that the baby I'm carrying belongs to a werewolf. I am not even carrying a normal child in my stomach, “My life is a mess.” I muttered and fell on the bed with my back.

My belly made the sound again, this time I decided to eat whatever was served after all the baby is just like them,

“Right now I have to put my baby first.” I had no other choice but to use my baby as an excuse to eat whatever I was served because if I don't eat now I don't think I will survive.

I opened the meal that I was served and to my greatest surprise they were exactly what humans eat. I realized they might have prepared the meal separately because they know I'm human or maybe it's actually the same thing that we eat.

Without wasting any more time I started eating. I couldn't stop for a minute because I was too hungry, in less than twenty minutes I was done eating everything I was served, on a normal day I wouldn't eat so much but surprisingly I ate it all, I felt it might be because of the baby that I am carrying that's why I ate so much.

After eating I was unable to get up from where I was sitting so instead of standing I rather remained seated there.

I have been trying not to go back to the past and remember how I was betrayed by my husband and my sister, but every time I try not to think about it I just can't help but remember vividly what happened that day and how she didn't feel remorseful in any way.

Even after destroying my marriage she still wanted to kick me out of here. I wonder what made her suddenly change or maybe she has always been this way. I was just too slow to realize.

“Get a grip Selene, they are now your past, you don't have to feel hurt anymore.”

I tried to convince myself that I wouldn't keep going back to the past. Then I looked around the room and realized how big the room was. I started wondering how the rest of the rooms would be. I haven't been able to take a look around the pack house since I got here.

Even though I have been scared of stepping out of the room I still feel very curious to know what the mansion looks like, especially the garden.

After contemplating for a while if it would be a good idea to step out of the room I finally came to the conclusion of leaving the room. This is the best way to start my life afresh and I'm not ready to miss out on the opportunity.

I realized there's only one cloth in my wardrobe because I came with nothing.

“This is going to be tough.” I said to myself and sat back on the bed. The moment I sat on the bed I heard a knock on the door.

I wondered who it might be, but somehow I concluded in my head that it would be no other person than Dante, I'm sure he is here to check if I finally agreed to eat my food. Without hesitating I gave permission to let the person in but to my greatest surprise it wasn't Dante it was the same three maids alongside a special guests I didn't see at the party.

They all walked into the room with hangers filled with clothes, I left my mouth open unknowingly.

“A fly might drop in Luna.” The young man said to me and I immediately snapped out and let out a faint smile.

“What is going on?” I asked curiously.

“My name is Scarlet…”

“Sorry, aren't you supposed to be a male?” I asked curiously because Scarlet doesn't sound masculine.

“Well I choose my gender.” I realized what he was trying to say so I couldn't dare to say more.

“I'm sorry.”

“I'm the best designer in the pack, as you can see.” I looked at him from head to tie and he looked gorgeous.

“I will be your fashion servant for any special occasion you have to attend with the Alpha.” I was wondering why I would need a fashion servant to get me dressed for an event when I can clearly pick what I like.

“Thank you very much Scarlet but I don't think I need a fashion…”

“Oh trust me darling you'd need me very soon.” He said to me without waiting to hear what I have to say and then excused himself from the room.

“Seriously?”
